Nostrup: Coastal Scenery, Golf and History

Nostrup brings together coastal scenery, golf and traces from different periods. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Nostrup, these themes can help you decide what to focus on during your trip. Would you mainly like to play golf, explore protected coastal areas, or put archaeological and more recent historical traces in context? The local features offer a range of different points of interest.

Coastal Scenery and Nature

The Klintegården coastal area in Nostrup covers about 13 hectares and lies between Røsnæsvej and Kalundborg Fjord. On the south coast of Røsnæs, the protected area covers 24 hectares of coastline from Kongstrup to Nostrup. These locations illustrate two different scales: Klintegården is situated between Røsnæsvej and the fjord, while the 24-hectare area covers the coastline from Kongstrup to Nostrup.

Area B in Nostrup is characterised by species-rich herbaceous vegetation, typical of the coastal cliffs of Røsnæs; it also has high biological value. The term herbaceous vegetation refers to non-woody plants. Pyrgus amoricanus (fransk bredpande), considered one of Denmark’s most endangered day-flying butterflies, is found there. For nature enthusiasts, this offers a specific focus on both the plant cover and the special significance of one particular butterfly species.

Golf and Paths Through the Protected Area

Kalundborg Golfklub is now located at Kildekærgård in Nostrup. The club offers Pay and Play on the first nine holes of its 18-hole course and also has a separate six-hole par-3 course. The information distinguishes between Pay and Play on part of the 18-hole course and the independent six-hole par-3 course. If golf is the deciding factor for your trip, check the club’s current playing arrangements in advance: the playing options may change.

The golf course is also a landmark for finding a route into the protected area. East of the course near Nostrup, visitors can park by the burial mound and walk down from there along paths through the protected area. If you plan to take this route, check the local paths when you arrive.

Archaeological and More Recent History

The archaeological evidence spans the Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age. Excavations east of Røsnæsvej in Nostrup provide evidence of significant settlement activity in the Late Bronze Age as well. A thin-necked stone axe, dated to around 3,900–3,400 BC, was found by chance in Nostrup. Nostrup Runddysse is a Neolithic burial chamber, also known as a dolmen. Chronologically, the stone axe and the Neolithic Runddysse represent earlier prehistoric connections than the settlement activity in the Late Bronze Age.

In the Nostrup and Nyrup area, four dug-in positions were added during the final part of the war; most are still visible today. When visiting, check which of them can still be made out on site.
